Ode To The Green Card

This song was written to celebrate the happy ending to my 10 year wait for the magic green card. I post it today in honour of my green card annivesary!




Ode to the Green Card

Tune: This Land Is Your Land
Lyrics and Vocals by Myra

Our friend Elzabeth —came from Canada.
She worked her tail off for nearly ten years.
She did the paperwork and then she waited...
Yes, you can have a Green Card, too.
You file the papers and start the process.
The INS will keep them safely.
Then, when you think they have lost the whole mess...
Yes, you can have a Green Card, too.
Elizabeth has learned– a great deal of patience.
She’s has prayed and waited (and waited and waited),
And wondered if she– would ever have it.
Yes, you can have a Green Card, too.
We’ve watched Elizabeth trusting in God.
Her faith has been tested–beyond all imagining!
Our God is faithful. He loves His children.
Yes, you can have a Green Card, too.
So, now we celebrate with happy faces,
For our friend is now— able to stay here.
A little Green Card is in her hand now.
Yes, you can have a Green Card, too.
